| 17. This would make interesting discussion in the Guns Forum... |

and people who are more informed than I am would certainly comment. I don't have a concealed carry permit because they are very difficult to get in my state. I believe however, that if you are in a threatening situation, you should have your weapon concealed, but be ready to draw and use it. Why not post this question there and see what the experts say?
I'll agree that if you are taken completely by surprise, you may be unable to use any form of self defense (mace, gun, knife, etc.). That said, guns do save people from assailants all the time. If you live in a dangerous environment, I believe you are safer if you are armed, provided you have had the proper training and are truly ready to shoot someone if necessary to protect yourself.
